Projects
The KU Leuven Brain Institute: interdisciplinary collaboration to transform neuroscience research in health and disease. KU Leuven
The KU Leuven Brain Institute will unite all neuroscience research at KU Leuven. The goal is to achieve
excellence in neuroscience by joining forces to advance our understanding of the human nervous system, both normal and diseased. The LBI will foster new collaborations and new research lines that span the entire scope of neuroscience, from molecules to behavior and from in vitro systems to patients, to go beyond the state of the ...
Nature-based coastal defense systems on waves-currents-seagrass interaction: interdisciplinary research on coastal and ecology engineering and marine biology Ghent University
Nature-based solutions that provide sustainable coastal protection using low environmental impact solutions are significant in the adaptation process towards global climate change. One opportunity of sustainable protection is offered by aquatic vegetation(seagrass, salt marshes, and mangroves) in the coastal zone, which is of high ecological value and provides natural coastal protection through attenuating waves, baffling currents and ...
Platform for interdisciplinary isotopic research by means of multi-collector inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry Ghent University
As a hybrid mass spectrometer, MC-ICPMS combines an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) plasma source, an energy filter, a magnetic sector analyzer, and multiple collectors for the measurement of ions. The ions are produced by introducing the sample into an inductively coupled plasma which strips off electrons thereby creating positively charged ions. These ions are accelerated across an electrical potential gradient (up to 10 KV) and focused ...
Trajectories of newly emerging evolving metacommunities – an interdisciplinary research project in empirical ecology and biostatistics KU Leuven
Recent efforts to unravel the assembly of species communities have resulted in limited amounts of explained variation, suggesting that important processes are overlooked and that statistical methods to detect these processes are lacking. This project capitalizes on a unique opportunity provided by a nature restoration project, where several clusters of new ponds are being created. From their creation onwards, all ponds will be subjected to ...
Interdisciplinary Network in Fundamental and Medical Research on Lung and Pancreatic Cancer [NITROGEN] Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This proposal aims, therefore, to identify and (pre-)clinically validate a set of molecular targets as drivers of cancer phenotypes that could be used for mono- or ...
Modelling uncertainty in hub location planning through interdisciplinary research Ghent University
This project will develop stochastic models that advance understanding of the effects of uncertainty constraints and urban-geographical change on the organization of air transport networks. The focus is on the location of air transport hubs in networks characterized by variable combinations of point-to-point and hub-and-spoke modes of organization. A key point of attention is the development of realistic, real-world scenarios.
Image Media, propaganda and politics. An investigation into Nazi film policy in Belgium and Europe, followed by a theoretical and interdisciplinary research on the significance of propaganda through visual media. Ghent University
Research on interdisciplinary decision making and patient participation in the life Ghent University
A prospective descriptive study on the needs and the final decisions at the end of life of patients who underwent palliative package has been requested and their environment.
